I like to set "wrap off" sometimes to make certain terminal output more readable. However, presently, I can't horizontally scroll to access data that has run off the end of the screen, without doing "wrap on" again.

When in copy mode, I'd like to be able to use my right arrow key to scroll the output horizontally.

To get an idea of what I mean, you may be able to do:

$ sudo less -S /var/log/syslog

If your terminal is narrow enough and the lines in your syslog are long enough, you can scroll horizontally, with ease, to view the remainder of long lines.

Very nice.

Cheers
